In other EC news, does anyone have info on progress toward the FDA allowing over-the-counter EC? (See my last post on the topic here.) Last I heard, the FDA made the rare decision to ignore their committee's recommendation and block OTC EC. Cali still allows it without a perscription, BUT you're at the mercy of the pharmacy you go to and/or the particular pharmacist you speak with. Individual pharmacists can deny you based on their personal convictions. A disgusting little movement within the profession. Not only is this an EC issue but it's spread to birth control pills. Click here and here. The Illinois Governor has required pharmacists to fill all birth control prescriptions. Other states (South Dakota and Arkansas) have laws protecting pharmacists who refuse to fill prescriptions based on their personal moral or religious values. I wonder if pharmacists are also failing to fill viagra prescriptions based on their moral values. Anyone have info on that?

Georgia just passed (or is trying to pass) a 24-hour waiting period law for anyone trying to get an abortion. If you have the time, look up their gun control laws. I'm guessing there isn't a waiting period...

You're right, no waiting period on gun sales. Check out http://www.bradycampaign.org/legislation/state/viewstate.php?st=ga for more info on Georgia's (or any other state's) gun laws. The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and the Million Mom March grade states each year and Georgia received a D.
